Unito – Back in Stock at KNIFE
For over three years, KNIFE has been the proud exclusive North American distributor of Unito, a design brand from Thailand with a unique mission: one unit to another.
The concept is simple but transformative — take something familiar, already useful in its original form, and re-imagine it for a whole new purpose. Unito starts with timeless, functional objects and gives them a second life through smart adaptation, refined craftsmanship, and a new context.
From Workshop to Kitchen, Office to Adventure
Think Stanley lunch boxes and Toyo tool boxes — designs that have stood the test of time, beloved for their durability and utility. In Unito’s hands, these become elevated objects for modern living:
-
A Stanley lunch box, originally built for the jobsite, now serving as a perfectly rugged coffee kit carrier or picnic companion. Think soccer practice, dads.
-
A Toyo steel toolbox, born in industrial workshops, re-imagined as sleek storage for brewing tools, kitchen cutlery or even desk essentials. Mobile art kit?
The beauty lies in the balance between preserving the soul of the original object and enhancing its form and function for a new life.
Why We’ve Partnered for Over 3 Years
We’ve been drawn to Unito since day one because they understand the magic of a well-made object — the patina of use, the satisfaction of a solid latch, the click of a perfectly fitted lid — and they amplify it. Their products feel familiar yet entirely fresh, and they fit seamlessly into a lifestyle that values both form and function.
The Latest Restock
Our newest shipment includes a fresh selection of Stanley lunch box accessories like the long awaited folding teak tray and full hangar bar. TheToyo tool boxes adapted by Unito, with a mix of classic colours and limited finishes you won’t see anywhere else in North America. Each piece is built to last, ready to be part of your daily life — whether in the kitchen, on the road, or out in the wild.
Come See What’s Possible
At KNIFE, we love tools, objects, and gear that tell a story. With Unito, that story is about transformation — taking the tried and true and giving it a new chapter. Come by, see them in person, and imagine how you’ll make them your own.
